Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went to a somewhat local car show today. Wandered around a bit. They had about 100 cars. We didn't bring a hot rod. We drove our 20 Mustang GT vert. It was a perfect day for a convertible ride around the lakes.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Brought home a old friend on Friday. My grandparents had this 61 Impala when I was growing up while in middle and high school. It was a identical twin to a 61 that my grandpa ordered brand new in 61 and then dated my grandmother in it, sold it when they got married to have extra money to get on their feet. (Stuck a scanned old photo of the original car)
Well fast forward to today, we lost my grandmother a year ago and my grandpa was wanting to get the 61 back, was able to get in touch with the guy they sold it to a decade ago and he actually still had it and was ready to let the car go. So we sold some spare stuff, pooled our money together and got the car back. Needs a little TLC as the car has pretty much sat in the garage the last decade, but nothing crazy.

I had a '62 SS, Aqua on Aqua driver for a while. Never had the funds or time to bring it a decent restored level and sold it 2 years ago to fund my '67 Camaro restoration. Yep, was sad to see it go and regret it, but I made good progress on the Camaro for awhile. The pic of your Grandpa's original car with the 4 bars and wide whites was the hot ticket back then. He was livin' the times. Glad he has you and the car to spend time with now. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
We had to pay a little more, but still way under what the going rate these cars are selling for and the guy had done quite a bit of maintenance work on it, so it wasnt bad still. Couldnt let the car slip away as we know its a super good car. Only reason they sold it was to finish the 56 Chevy custom we still have.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Ill get them later, I've been prepping my truck for Goodguys this weekend so I have not gotten to do any cleaning yet on it and it needs it badly from sitting for most of the last decade. It is a 348 tri power, 4 speed car. Only thing not stock under the hood is the little chrome louvered air cleaners on the carbs and the aftermarket booster and dual master cylinder for the disc brakes. Pretty much looks exactly like this pic of the 61 my grandpa ordered new. He took the big stock air cleaner and chucked it of course. Interior is all stock and original. I am pretty confident the car is a legit Super Sport car as it has everything they came with, in the right spots, and the dash never got the cross flags on the passenger side that the non super sport cars got. Also built in the right time frame and is a true big block 4 speed car.

Nice!
I think the 60, 61 and 62 were the best looking Impalas ever made IMHO |

Tri-Power 348 with a 4 speed makes it that much better!

It was about the Water bill. ![]() I get home and turn the facuet on ![]() First thing I think is a big leak under the house or line to the road. Well in a few minutes I find a Lock on the meter. ![]() I immediately go get my direct deposit paid paper copy of my bill. ![]() I call the After hours emergency phone # A guy answers the phone. Guy: Hello Me : My water has been cutoff by mistake. Guy NO IT HAS NOT. I cut it off because you did not pay your bill. Me: I can show you the bill. Besides that if you don't come out here and remove it ,I will cut it off with a torch ![]() Guy: I think your trying to Hoodoo me. I will be right out there. 30 minutes or so later. A big 7 foot tall guy shows up. I was younger back then and Mad. So that did not phase me ![]() Keeping a long story short. He was mad when he took the lock off. He asked what address this was. I told him. And he asks, where a certain address was and it was my Neighbor that didnt pay the bill. Then an hour later he called back and apologized to me and said he had a very hard day that day.
